"Hannah Ralph sustained injuries including broken femurs and pelvis, cranial and cervical spine fractures, plus multiple lacerations and substantial blood loss," the report said.

She underwent successful surgery to repair several breaks in her legs while in the hospital.

Ralphs family and friends have also created a GoFundMe campaign to support her recovery from the accident and return to work.

Last month, a combination of Crash Detection and Apples Emergency SOS via satellite on an iPhone 14 had helped to save a man who drove off a cliff in California and was bleeding from the head, by guiding rescuers to the driver.

The mans car went over a cliff and dropped 400 feet before crashing to a halt.

In February this year, the Crash Detection feature in the iPhone 14 had alerted police following an accident, allowing the victims to receive help immediately.
